Next to Newsletter- Monday, April 30, 2012

Good morning!

Publication of the Next to Newsletter is going to be a little
haphazard for a few weeks. Graduation is coming up, plus the Glazers will be
doing some traveling- to Macon for an oratorical contest, then to North Carolina to
help Molly move home for the summer (YEA!!) I'll try to keep things updated with
links and special savings on our Facebook page. If you haven't "liked" us, now's
a good time. Just click here.

What's on sale?

Folks have been clamoring
for another Wild Card sale so that's what we'll do. Draw a card to see where
your 30% discount is- tops? baby clothes? jeans? Hey, you won't know if you
don't
play!

Arthur's column, "Hard now to imagine
living without a smartphone" was published last Saturday. Click here

Feeling
Crafty?

When I first saw this blog, I was totally
charmed by the sweet sewing kit made from a jelly jar and bits of this and that.
It's a thoughtful little gift to send with kids on their way to college or just
starting out in the world. Click here

Class of
2012

It's graduation time! Here at N2N, we've watched so
many of the current grads grow up and we're proud of each and every one of you!

Everyone wants to look their best for those graduation
day photos, so here's our little gift to you: Bring your graduation gown by N2N any time before May 15th and we'll
steam out the wrinkles for you. Those package folds can be stubborn but they're
no match for our steamer! We just ask that you stick around while we do it- no
drop offs, please.

Coming, next Friday night- the final improv show of
the year! Join North Hall High School's Improv Team (Improv This!) for a night
of controlled chaos, inspired characters, and magical uncertainty as the team's
senior members introduce their favorite games in their farewell
show.

Tickets are $5, and all proceeds go to Hope for the
Homeless, a project of Tessa Shirley's freshman classes working to raise
awareness, clothing, money, and hope for the homeless and at risk in our
area.

Here's a nice spin on the classic lemon meringue pie
recipe...

Orange Meringue
Pie

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie
crust

3/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup cornstarch

1 pinch salt

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup water

4 eggs, separated

4 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into
pieces

2 teaspoons grated orange
zest

1/2 cup diced orange
segments

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 teaspoon cream of
tartar

Preheat oven to 400
degrees F (205 degrees C). Line pastry with aluminum foil and a layer of pie
weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is
golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; bake about 5
minutes more.

In a small saucepan, stir
together the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the orange
juice, lemon juice, and water. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook
over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, and stir in butter and orange zest. If desired; stir in diced
orange segments. Pour into prepared pie crust, cover with plastic wrap, and set
aside to cool.

When pie filling has
cooled to room temperature, preheat oven and prepare meringue. Preheat oven to
350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites
until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar, continuing to beat
until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites
should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread over pie, making sure the
meringue completely covers the filling and meets the edges of the pie crust.

Bake in preheated oven
until meringue topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Wise Words

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good
they do is inconceivable.
